Abstract

The article analyzes publications on postnonclassical psychology indexed in Scopus. In total, 30 publications were identified in Scopus. They met the following conditions: (1) they contain terms (in the title, the abstract and/or in the author’s key words) which were used as search topic: «post-non-classical», «post-nonclassical» «postnonclassical»: (2) their subject area is psychology. All publications were published between 2002 and 2017. It was shown that the vast majority of articles on postnonclassical psychology are published by Russian authors and / or in Russian journals. Three thematic clusters in the field of studying autism are highlighted by constructing the terms map based on keyword analysis. It was revealed that the share of publications on post-nonclassical psychology does not exceed one percent. The bibliometric analysis shows that the assertion that modern psychology is a post-nonclassical science is not supported by quantitative data.

Keywords: post-nonclassical psychology, Russian psychology, rationality, bibliometric analysis.
